Davis went down with a pretty nasty mid-foot sprain 10 days ago, in the midst of some of his best play of the year. AD’s setback is just the latest in what’s been a nightmare 2021-2022 season for the Lakers thus far.
NBA Twitter reacted to the crushing Lakers news after it broke.
“Bro’s made out of glass,” one user tweeted.

“They better trade him,” another tweeted. “AD got the body of an 50 year old man and he isn’t even 30 yet. The Lakers need to get rid of LeBron, Russ and AD if we being honest.”
